Today I will show a tag I made with nature theme. I´m so happy that many of my new Tim Holtz products finally arrived. This time I have used the new stamp set Entomology CMS 328 together with a lot of other of his products.
For the background I used Distress Oxide´s in Walnut stain and Vintage photo, I also used a stencil, a remnant rub, the text stamp from Entomology set and som design tape. The edges are distressed with Walnut stain Distress ink and Gathered twigs Distress crayon. I love the consistency of the crayons.
For the word "nature" I stamped with my cling foam stamps, "type lower" using an offwhite Deco art acrylic paint and then stamped a little offset over it with Distress oxide in Walnut stain. Love that effect. Easy, cool and effectful!
Here you can se the metallic sticker closer. I sanded it and used Walnut stain Distress ink to get a more distressed look.
The insects are all first stamped on the tag with Jet black Archival ink, then stamped on watercolour paper and painted with Distress markers and Distress ink. Fuzzy cut. Finally I stamped them on wellum and used black embossing powder, then fuzzy cut. I layered them up with some 3D tape.
1940 is a stamp from the Correspondence set.
Here you can see the remnant rub. (the numbers)

FABULOUS, Susanne!!! I love your incredible background, but those bugs!!! They have never looked more beautiful! I'm so happy you shared how you added 'nature' to your tag! I have got to give that technique a try! Thank you so much for your inspiration and for sharing with our Neutral Point of View challenge at Frilly and Funkie! Hugs! PS I think I am FINALLY sold on the bugs stamp set. (Enabler!)
